Research impact case studies

To create a world worth living in

CSU researchers are collaborating with businesses and the community to find new ways to create meaningful impact on local, national and global levels.

These case studies highlight the breadth of research at CSU, and our ability to bring together experts from a range of disciplines to explore real world problems. Our research generates insights to address issues of deep social significance, inform policy and decision making, and to support people and communities to flourish.

"When our brightest minds in research and business collaborate to create cutting-edge solutions and job-creating enterprises, these businesses are three times more likely to experience productivity growth."– National Innovation and Science Agenda Report
